I don't give a rats @$$ if a soap is water thin in the bottle if it does what it needs to do, and in fact I prefer thinner soaps

I honestly don't care how thick it is in the bottle/jug as long as it dissolves in the water.

I really like Hyperwash and found it noticeably thinner than the other two soaps I've tried recently (Optimum Car Wash and 3D Pink) and it dissolves in water far better. Optimum, like Hyperwash would break down pretty quickly/easily for me, but 3D takes a lot of stirring to break up.

You should try Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Pure Wash if you can get it over there. I think you'll really like it.

Pure Wash has been my new go-to. Not as cost effective as Hyper Wash, but I feel ok paying a slight premium for a thinner formula and incredible scent. I'm legit sad to pour my wash bucket down the drain when I'm done lol

If it is 99% the same, just thinner, I would buy it

Which brings up the question, do manufacturers intentionally thicken soaps to make consumers think it makes it better somehow?

Like more lubricity, or somehow thicker means more concentrated?

After experiencing Reset and Bathe coagulate on me after letting them sit around for a while, I started to wonder if thicker soaps might have a longer shelf life. The things I would do to be friends with a chemical blender haha

3D Pink is a soap I have wanted to try but never have

I had planned to get a quart of it and if I like it I would buy the Nano Pail, their super concentrated "not paying for the water" version of Pink Soap

That brings you back around to why do you have to make the standard version so thick

and

If the Nano Pail concept works then why the hell are we paying for all the excess plastic, water, shipping, etc on 95% of the chemicals we buy

Convenience is the only reason I can come up with
 
I've never used an AIO. I'm curious how good this is. Griot's 3 in 1 on top this could be a durable combo.

Not sure how different it is from their regular Ceramic All-In-One. I would guess since it's a BOSS cream, it's designed to be usable with a long throw. When we get details during their next livestream, we might be able to find out if it has any more cut.

I found 3D Pink thoroughly underwhelming. It does the job, but nothing more. Slickness is average, cleaning average, foam quality pathetic. Overall, I'd put it in the same "workhorse" "no frills" category with P&S Pearl. Hyper Wash walks all over both.

That's been my experience too. I'm pretty underwhelmed. When I use up the jug I have now, there won't be another. Been there, tried it, don't want the T-shirt.

To balance my scathing summation of the product, 3D Pink probably isn't aimed at a pro-sumer or hobbyist detailer. It's designed to do a job, get the car clean with low cost and low frills in a high-volume/production line detailing environment. That applies to P&S Pearl as well, which I tried to like but found to be underwhelming to say the least. I know both are cheap, 3D Pink is especially so in Australia, but that's not enough to cover up its averageness, especially when I need to use 3 times as much soap to do the same job as Reset, Hyper Wash, NV Snow, Adam's Car Shampoo...............................................
